Of course, you're an engineer. The word registers in your head, but you're not quite sure what it means... regardless, you feel like once you get moving towards your workplace, your memory will be jogged. Speaking of work, it's time to get ready. You can't very well leave in your pajamas.

Check everywhere. Closets, drawers, under and behind furniture, behind those curtains, the titles of those books, the fourth wall we can't see, anywhere there might be something.

Also, check to see what pages the books are open to, then close and stack them. We ought to take care of our literature, after all.

Opening your closet, you find your CLOTHING. Miraculously, the exact outfit you were thinking of happens to be the only set of clothing you own. Odd, but it seems right to you.

[Henry is dressing. Queue a command.]

Pick those books up and put them away. And see what that blue thing in our closet is.

After opening the windows for some light and straightening up our literature, we decide to check on the good old TOOLBOX we have in our closet.

>>22981917
Read the books. Then open the drawer and see what's in it.

If we have no memory, then looking around our home will help orient ourself.

Oh? Investigating the box, we discover a HEAVY WRENCH, a FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER, a MALLET, and a BOX OF SCREWS.

Would you like to take anything? You currently have 8 inventory slots open.

When you open the books, the pages are filled with gibberish - letters scrambled together in something that looks a little bit like a coding language to you. Whatever it is, you don't recognize it.

The door to the drawer seems to be jammed shut, and no amount of pulling on the handle will allow you to open it.

>>22982207
You try the door, but it will not open either. The handle won't even turn.

Lets see if the door just needs to be unlocked, its that's not it, smash it apart with our hammer.

>>22982355

Exit via window. Also, turn off the light.

It seems that the green orb has given you innate knowledge of some kind of code - what exactly it is, you aren't sure, but when you look at the fallen robot, you are immediately able to identify it as a "Sentinel," a small guardian drone that patrols... whatever this area is... and makes sure 'prisoners' stay in their 'holding cells.'

Using this information, combined with your supposed engineering skills (so this is what an engineer does!) you are able to construct a more powerful set of armor out of its remains, which you creatively dub the Sentinel Armor.

Keep at it, friend. And make sure to archive it.

>>22984429
All right, thanks and in process. (holy shit that's gay purple man)

Next thread will probably be on Friday, as I've got classes the next three days.

Since I have a bit of time left I'll explain how the attributes work for later threads.

Strength - governs attack power with crushing weapons, and any actions that would logically involve strength.

Agility - governs attack power with sharp/bladed weapons, and any actions that would logically involve agility.

Intelligence - governs attack power with projectile and technical weapons (the drone's hand would be an example), and any actions... you get the picture.

Toughness - governs defense and total HP. Henry currently has 20 max HP, 10 base and 11 from his toughness score of 1.

Social - governs social skills. Probably not that useful in the near future.

Luck - governs critical hit chances. With a high luck, it is possible to cheat fate and survive situations that would not normally be survivable - at least you have a chance to.

Codes are basically spells. You probably realized that by now.
